Experts predict these three themes might boost crypto in 2025

In 2025, Real-World Asset tokenization, AI, and Bitcoin as a treasury asset may gain popularity.

Experts predict meme currencies might be a major trend next year but are skeptical about Solana and XRP ETFs.

Bitcoin consolidates over $94,000 Monday.

Crypto market adoption and institutional money increased in 2024. Experts expect 2025 developments as the sector develops and the Bitcoin bull run continues.

Meme currencies and AI tokens were key storylines of 2024, and Brickken executives expect market players to show more interest in them in 2025.

In 2025, RWA, AI, and Bitcoin as treasury might drive crypto.
A digital asset exchange-traded fund, Bitwise, forecasts the RWA industry would be worth over $50 billion in 2025. This is a top-10 crypto forecast for next year. The paper states that tokenized RWA was worth less than $2 billion three years ago.

Bitwise experts predicted Wall Street's continued adoption of crypto in “The Year Ahead: 10 Crypto Predictions for 2025,” released on December 10.

ParaFi Venture Capital and Global Financial Markets Association share Bitwise's 2025 projections. ParaFi expects the RWA market to reach $2 trillion by 2030, whereas GFMA set a five-year objective of $16 trillion.

Brickken CEO and co-founder Edwin Mata told FXStreet in an exclusive interview:

RWA will matter to crucial people. BlackRock and JP Morgan are entering to make RWA matter. I see AI agents involved. Different governments might use Bitcoin as treasury.


Meme coins are a major trend in market cycle and may continue in 2025.

“Meme coins may fade or grow next year. It may find a commercial niche. Trends are welcomed and embraced.”

Edwin stressed the need for the category to become a vertical like L1,L2, AI, DePin. Edwin said:

“With meme coins, it's like gambling, but not the main story. Market maturity and verticality are all that matter.”

Bitcoin is stabilizing over $94,000 despite a drop in derivatives exchange open interest and BTC holdings.
